Pretty has been doing great since my last update. I haven't done much in the arena with her lately, but we have been reviewing her training every day. I have ridden her through the cattle down on the river, gone over a lot of large and small logs, up and down some large dirt embankments and have done some very long open road trotting. We have worked on transitions; up and down, yielding the hindquarters, backing, bending, yield the hindquarters into a bending exercise, and tons of lateral flexion.
I am planning on taking her back into the arena today and progress with her side-passing. I really think that she will be very easy to train to move laterally; her body is so soft. We'll see!
Pretty was sold last Friday. I still get to ride and train her for a little while, though, because the new owner has a ton of snow at her place. I am sad and happy at the same time.
